IF YOU NEED TO MELT CARAMEL:

• In a microwave, cut caramel into chunks and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each. Repeat until almost all caramel is melted, remove from microwave and continue stirring until completely melted and smooth.
• With a double boiler, cut caramel into chunks and place over simmering water, stir slowly until completely melted. If you don’t have a double boiler, use a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.
• On the stovetop, cut caramel into chunks and place in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Stir slowly and continuously until completely melted and smooth.

IF YOU NEED CARAMEL SAUCE: For 3/4 cup caramel sauce, melt 8 ounces (1/2 block) of Annie B’s caramel with 2 tablespoons of milk, cream or water. If a thinner sauce is desired, add 1 teaspoon of liquid at a time until desired consistency is reached.

IF YOUR RECIPE CALLS FOR WRAPPED CARAMELS, an Annie B’s one pound baking block is equivalent to:

• 57 individually wrapped Kraft caramels
• 46 individually wrapped Brach’s caramels
• 2 1/2 cups baking caramel bits
